The four of them staggered back to the hotel. They stumbled through the door of the room and Lucas and Archer fell asleep the second they lay down.
"These two really can't handle their drink. But they're quite well behaved, even gentle when they are drunk." Jazlyn threw Lucas on the bed. "He's so heavy!" she heaved.
